Reminds me of "Musical Chairs" game. I worked 3-4 Q's in this contest a couple years ago before I discovered I had to move after every CQ'ed contact.

Some guys probably love that rule, but it was too much chaos for me. If I have to work that hard to have fun I will just skip it.

Well I got my clock cleaned in this one and I guess that's good to keep the
ego in line.  This was my first SPRINT and not knowing what to expect I was
over whelmed right from the get go and that soon led to frustration.  I
didn't care for the hop scotch freq changes and I guess I'm just a meat and
potatoes operator at this time.  I was confused by the dead silence at first
and thought I had read the rules wrong but when I checked later found some
activity so jumped in but this was not my cup of tea.  Maybe after I get a
few more contests under my belt I'll try another sprint but for now I'll
leave them to you pros.  The name I used (DUH) sure fit but it caused a call
for a repeat on almost every contact so that was a wash too.

TOTAL SCORE was 420

See you next weekend in JARTS,
